Here I am with my parents and my brother. This must have been towards the end of the night. I look tired.

My parents having a moment to themselves. They still look pretty happy after all those decades of marriage.

I am on the top right with all my siblings. Mom is sitting in the middle. This is what your family looks like when your mom decides she would like "one more" when she is 45 and already has children who are grown and had children of their own.

Mom, in the middle, with her buddies.

With her buddies again.

OK, siblings, here are the few pics you requested. I haven't gotten the pictures back from the photographer yet so I don't have any of the big group shots yet. They should be coming soon.

Thanks to all of you for your encouragement over my little break down. I feel calmer now (though not totally calm) and am trying to realize that things will happen when they happen. I am praying the drivers license shows up this week. I will feel much better once we get that done and then the ball is in the governments court. Well, at least I think that will make me feel better:)

I am a spontaneous, out going, daughter of the King, who is married to a wonderful guy who is a quiet, shy, non-spontaneous, scientist who also loves the Lord. Truly a match made in heaven! We fight and argue, love and laugh, every single day. I am passionate about orphan care and love to tell our story to anyone who will listen. This blog is dedicated to that journey.

"Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them."
~Psalm 127
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 1:27
